Norway is on the “bucket list” of every adventurous tourist worldwide. Norway has a lot to see, including beautiful mountains, gorgeous fjords, and many churches and lighthouses. It’s a great place to go on a trip with friends, family, or a partner. Many people want to see the beautiful Northern Lights at least once more than anything else.

To decide where to go in Norway, you must carefully plan your trip. Here are the best ones:

Oslo 

Many things are happening in Oslo, the Norwegian capital city, Oslo, which has been getting major makeovers in the past decade. The new neighbourhoods, the steaming hot floating saunas, an event calendar packed with events, and many new attractions and museums are only examples of what you can expect.

Thanks to the Oslofjord and vast forests, it is easy to mix urban living with outdoor activities like biking, hiking or skiing at one of Norway’s best ski resorts. There’s also lots to see and do in the surrounding region in Ostfold and Vestfold and charming towns like Fredrikstad and Tonsberg located along the coastline.

A little over half an hour’s distance from Oslo is Norway’s newest art hub Hadeland in which you can go to the stunning outdoor art gallery in Kistefos Museum. Kistefos Museum and the spectacular structure of The Twist exhibit top contemporary art.

You can order flight reservations for visa application process without paying for flight tickets.

Lofoten And Nordland

Staggering peaks, sparkling fjords and, genuine fishing towns, stunning beaches. And don’t forget the northern lights and the midnight sun! On Instagram, you’ve probably seen jaw-dropping pictures from Lofoten and Vesteralen (the realm of the whales!). The best suggestion is to go to these spots outside peak summertime (when the crowds aren’t there).

The next level of outdoor adventure is also available for biking, skiing and nature lovers, the paradise that is Narvik. Another lesser-known treasure is Helgeland, just a bit further south. In Helgeland, you can travel The Coastal Route between Trondelag and Bodo, which has been voted as among the world’s most beautiful routes.

The vibrant beach town Bodo is the biggest municipality in Nordland which offers lots of outdoor activities in the close Salten region and an energizing cultural scene. In actual fact, Bodo will be the European Capital of Culture in 2024.

The Geirangerfjord And The Northwest

Northern Fjord, Norway, is home to the charming art nouveau town of Lesund, the perfect jumping-off place for a Northwest Fjord journey. All year long, the area draws in outdoor enthusiasts. Geirangerfjord, Norway’s most well-known fjord and home to the Seven Sisters and dozens of other waterfalls cascading over sheer mountain faces, is accessible by boat or bus from Alesund.

The mountaineering capital of Ndalsnes is another great place to stay because it is surrounded by famous peaks (you can hike or take a gondola to the top) and is close to world-famous sites like the Trollstigen mountain road and The Atlantic Road.

The Rauma Railway ends in Andalsnes. It has been called one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. The Northwest is also home to the music town of Molde, famous for its jazz festival, and Kristiansund, known as the “clipfish capital” of the world.

Trondheim And Trøndelag

The Trondelag region in Norway is a magnet for historians and active nature enthusiasts. It is an absolute paradise for awestruck foodies and was designated a European Region of Gastronomy in 2022.

Take a bike ride, fish or ski or trek any of the nine pilgrimage routes known as the St. Olav Ways that each leads to the impressive Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. Trondheim, the lively and cozy city of students, is the region’s capital city known as the “Home” of Nordic flavours. Enjoy a variety of culinary experiences, from Michelin-starred dining experiences to trendy food bars and cozy coffee shops.

Explore the fresh local food during the scenic detour of The Golden Road in Innherred as you travel through time to the mining city of Roros. In the Dovrefjell Mountains, there is a chance to glimpse an impressive beast – the Musk Oxen.

Having confirmed hotel or BnB reservations is a good way to demonstrate proof of accommodation for a Schengen visa application. 

The Svalbard Archipelago

Are you ready to take wildlife to the next step? The Svalbard archipelago is within the Arctic Ocean, halfway between Norway and the North Pole. In Svalbard, you can engage in exciting outdoor activities that are based on nature throughout the year in a setting that is as rough and fragile.

Have a go at dog sledding. You can also go for ice caving, go on a snowmobile tour or go in search of to see the northern light. Alongside a few thousand bears living on the islands, they have a population of three thousand people. The city that is the main one in Longyearbyen, is a vibrant miniature city offering the best of culture and top-quality restaurants and bars that you normally would think of only in large cities.
